Looking for a new case

I'm going to be building a new PC soon and I am looking for a new good quality case.

I am quite fussy I guess... I previously had a Lian-Li PC-A07 Case but am less than impressed with it for the money I paid. I have also previously had an Antec P182 which I loved apart from the fact it had a door. I also love the look of the Mac Pro cases.

Anyway, can anyone recommend a good/high quality case with no door similar to the Mac Pro case or something?

That Silverstone TJ-07 looks nice. Any idea what the quality is like?

Thanks. As I said, regarding the PC7 I'm just really fussy. When the DVDRW was spinning, the case rattled and the Lian-Li covers I'd paid extra for didn't properly fit the case...was just dissappointed from day one and I guess that set me off lol. Will look at the V series too.

Not keen on that one

Hmmm I like the look of the Antec Sonata Plus

On the topic of Sonata, any opinions on the new Elite version? Looks quite neat and has got good reviews on hardware sites, but I want to make sure that the modern super-long graphics cards can fit in it.

Looks quite nice apart from the door. The old version wasn't very deep so not convinced this one would be either.

erm...not sure to be honest. It will be a fairly high spec system (Core i7, 12GB Ram, etc) but nothing major GPU wise - just something capable of dual displays.

Yeah I saw a thread with some pics of that and it does look good. Might stick with the antec though.
